James Haskell admits what REALLY caused his marriage with Chloe Madeley to break down after 'dark and painful' final year - and reveals the truth about new romance rumours: RICHARD EDEN


James Haskell's wife, Chloe Madeley, described their final year of marriage as 'dark and painful'. Now, the former England rugby star has admitted his love of boozing contributed to the demise of their union.
